Tools for Diagnostic and Preventative of Electrical Systems and Equipment 

Infrared Thermometers are proven best diagnostic and predictive tools used for electrical systems and equipment maintenance inspection. Infrared thermometers provide precise readings with 1-4% accuracy, and from as far away as 200 feet depending on the model used and are lightweight, rugged, and easy to use.

Measuring Electrical Components

Noncontact infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object from a safe distance, making them an indispensable tool in any electrical maintenance operation.

• Connectors - Electrical connections can gradually loosen the connector, and generate heat as a result of repeated heating (expansion) and cooling (contraction), and/or dirt, carbon deposits, and corrosion. A noncontact thermometer quickly determines temperature increases that indicate serious problems.
• Phase-to-Phase Measurement - Check cables and connectors for equal phase-to-phase temperatures for induction motors, large computers, and other equipment.

• Uninterrupted Power Supplies - Identify hot localized connections in the UPS output filters. A cold spot may indicate an open DC filter circuit.

• Back-up Batteries - Check low-voltage batteries for proper connection. Poorly attached cell strap connections may heat up enough to burn posts.
• Ballasts - Detect overheated ballast before it begins to smoke.

• Utilities - Identify hot spots in connections, cable splices, transformers, and other equipment. Several models feature optical ranges of 60:1 or greater, bringing almost any target easily within reach.
